Chapter 1: The Adventures of Hsu and Chan


Hsu - Hello,video gamers! I am Hsu Tanaka and this is my brother,Chan! We are video game designers! Please do not let the title fool you! Our job requires a maturity beyond our years!


Chan - Hsu! I have guided the purple monkey across the platform without once being hit by the porcupines thrown by the yellow octopus!


Hsu - You go,Chan!


Hsu - No doubt you have already enjoyed several of the games we two have created: Roller Death Derby,Super Roller Death Derby,Roller Death Derby 5000,Fighting Fighters,and our smash-hit RPG epic,Soulsong 2,originally released in Japan under the title "Warui Posuto: Big Pants Submarine".


Chan - It was very emotional.


Hsu - How do we create such masterpieces?Our tools are vast and varied! Genius,Creativity,Skill,These all play a part! Not to mention our state-of-the-art hardware,software and,to a lesser extent,even a good cup of coffee!


Chan - Hsu! We are out of coffee!


Hsu - We're ruined!


Chan - Wait,my brother! Perhaps we can..buy more!


Hsu - Yes,brilliant! To the car,Chan! We ride!


Chan - Can I drive?


Hsu - No way!


Hsu - *Driving at 50 mph on a 20 mph lane* Clear the streets,haplass pedestrians! We are video game designers!


Chan - Ignorant Philistines!


*Upon arriving at the store*


Chan - Hsu,look! For our convenience,this store is open 24 hours a day,seven days a week!


Hsu - A cheap trick! What sort of moron would spend a full day in a place like this?! I am still inconvenienced! Boo on them! Let us have this done!


*Heading into the store*


Hsu - *points at coffee machine* There! To action!


*Hsu goes to coffee machine while Chan looks around*


Hsu - Pour,you mindless automation! Pour!


Chan - Saints be praised! Slim Jims! Hoo-yeah!


Hsu - We have what we came here for! Let us not waste another second in this hell of snack crackers and cheap American beer!


Chan - By the paddles of pong,Hsu! Look at the line!


Hsu - GOOD LORD! All of this for cigarettes and lottery tickets?! The fates have surely abandoned us!


*Hsu and Chan heads behind a large fat man*


Chan - One side,Large sir! We are video game designers!


Hsu - If we had wished to see the world's largest back flab,we'd have paid admission! Let us through!



Chan - He does not listen,brother Hsu!


Hsu - We are left with no choice,Chan! You must use...the force!


Chan - Yes,brother Hsu!


*Chan tries to lift up the fat man aside using his Jedi power,but to no avail.*


Hsu - He is unmoved!


Chan - The force is...strong with this one!


*Both of them had an idea*


Hsu and Chan - *points at the ceiling* Look! A gallon of butter pecan ripple!


Fat man - Where?


*Hsu and Chan steals the line*


Chan - Ha Ha Ha! It was an old Jedi mind trick!


Hsu - Weak-minded fool!


Hsu - *to the clerk* Hmm,for the wait,you'd have thought there would be someone more attractive.Our time is precious,clerk!


Clerk - That'll be $6.98 -- Hey! You're Hsu and Chan Tanaka,aren't you?!


Clerk - You guys made Roller Death Derby 5000,didn't you? I loved that! Someday,I want to be just like you!


*Hsu and Chan stares at him..*


Hsu and Chan - YOU?! HAHAHAHAHAhAhAhAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!


Hsu - Come,Chan! We've wasted too much of our lives here already! Leave the rabble to their spicy peanuts and slushees! We ride to better places!


Chan - They have slushees?
